MHIIIHimilM How the Earth, Whioh Was Born Out of a Mast of Flaming Gases, Cams to Have Its 8urfaoe Covered With a Liquid Which Cannot Endure Fire. The story of the origin of water In volves that of the birth of the earth. According to the generally accepted hypothesis, the earth was once a muss of heated gases, which included. In one form or another, every chemical ele ment that we know. Among these gases were oxygen and hydrogen, the two elements by whose combination water is formed. But there was no water then because the heat was too great to permit of the combination of oxygen and hydrogen. The elements of water were present, but not water itself. As the gaseous mass continued to cool a temperature was reached at which combination could begin to take place, and then water appeared in the form, not of liquid, but of an invisible vapor which we call watery vapor. Although oxygen and hydrogen had combined in this vapor, the heat was still too great for It to condense into the liquid state. With further cooling. however, it did undergo a partial con densation Into that form of water which we know as steam. At that time the globe was probably a great white hot ball, enveloped at a vast height above Its surface with a hissing shell or envelope of steam. In this Immense steamy shell was contained. In the vaporous form, all the water that the future earth was to possess. The oceans were there, afloat as scalding clouds! The central mass continued to cool and condense, and at last when the temperature of the rocky crust that had besun to form about It had de scended to about 370 degrees C, the first true water that is. liquid water appeared on the earth. It fell In hot drops from the vaporous envelope and at first no doubt was Instantly recon verted Into steam by contact with the heated crust After awhile the crust became so cool that the descending water could remain upon It In the liq uid state. Then the mighty rains fell thicker and faster from the condensing envelope until the accumulated water formed great oceans or perhaps at the beginning one universal ocean sur rounding the entire earth. That would depend upon the form of the surface of the crust nt the time when the descent of the waters occurred. The origin of the present ocean basins goes back to the very beginning of geological his tory and antedates every period that can be fixed with reasonable certainty. These facts explain why the earth has so great a quantity of water and where that water came from. It Is believed that the ocenns cannot continue to exist for all time as we see them today. The minerals constituting the solid crust of the earth are contin ually absorbing water. It has been calculated that granite contains two gallons of absorbed water In every cu bic yard. The condition of the moon, as revealed by telescopes and by pho tography, shows that a globe may, ns far at least as Its surface is concerned, become absolutely arid, no water what ever remaining upon it, although in ages past it may have been covered with oceans. The drying up process, however, must be a slow one. and no consider able quantity of the oceanic wuters can be absorbed into the earth's inte rior until the core of the globe has be come relatively cool. At present the internal heat is so great that water cannot penetrate to a depth of more, say, than twenty miles at the most. It Is only as the rocks cool that they be gin to take up water in combination. If we heat water to the boiling point we turn it into steam. If we heat the steam still further.it becomes an in visible vapor, which may be made so hot that it will char a piece of paper like a flame. On the other hand, if we cool water to the freezing point it turns Into a brittle solid-ice. So If we had happened to be boru In a fiery hot world we should only have known water as a scaring vapor, capa ble of devouring metals like a strong add, and. on the contrary. If our lot had been enst In an intensely cold world our only knowledge of water, as a natural product, would have been In the shape of a solid, harder than most rocks. Garrett P. Servlss in New York Journal. Gelkie Place It at Between 250,000 and 600,000 Year. In his work. "The Antiquity of Man Id Europe." Professor James tieikie of Edinburgh university declares nts belief tbat man has Inhabited Europe between 250.000 and 500.000 years. All such estimates are based on geo logical facts, such as the rate at which sediment is deposited or at which stal agmites grow, that are very bard to determine with any accuracy, but no one oow doubts that man Is far older than men of science originally suppos ed him to be. "When we reflect," says Professor GelUle. "on the many geographical changes that man has witnessed the submergence and re-elevatiou of enor mous tracts, the erosion of valleys and general lowering of the surface by de nudutlou, when we consider that be has lived through a succession of stu pendous climatic revolutions; that he has seen widely contrasted floras and faunas alternately occupying our conti nent tuudras. steppes and great for ests succeeding each other again and again we must feel convinced that the few thousand years that have elapsed since the downfall of Babylonian, As syrian and Egyptian empires are as nothing compared with the long aeons that separate the earliest times ot his tory from the apparition of palaeolith ic man in Europe." The Acorn. Take a large acorn, suspend it by a thread so as to nearly tonch the water in any glass vessel, set it upon your mantelshelf, bracket or table and let it Btnnd there for about two months without in any way Interfering with It excepting to supply fresh water. The acorn will burst, throw a root down into the water and n stem upward, sending out from the stem beautiful green leaves. Precaution. "Why did you insist on having your new servant arrive on Saturday?" ask ed the neighbor. There's no train back till Monday." replied Mrs. Crosslots. "We wanted to be sure of having help for onr Sun day dinner." Washington Star. Give os an International mind to un derstand, an international heart to feeL William D. B. Alney. RIFLE SIGHTS. The Drop of the Bullet In Its Flight Makes Them Necessary. The average person if asked to ex plain why a rifle Is sighted would prob ably be unable to do so beyond some vague remark about taking correct aim Rights are necessary because a bullet does not travel in a straight line, but, under the Influence of gravity and fric tion, begins to drop almost as soon as it leuves the muzzle. Thus the bullet of the British service rifle drops six inches In the first 100 yards, but when It bus gone 200 yards it will have drop ped not twelve Inches, but two feet The drop Increases by leaps and bounds with the distance. Were there no tights on the rl He and you wanted to hit a mark at 200 yards you would clearly have to aim two feet above It This would be awkward, for you would lose sight of the mark aimed at to say nothing of the dllllculty of correctly estimating a distance of two feet at 200 yards. The sights of a rifle enable yon to keep your eye on the mark, although the muzzle of the rifle Is actually point lng above It. The movable slide of the backsight enables you automatical ly to point the muzzle just so many feet above the mark aimed at as Is necessary to counteract the known drop of the bullet at various ranges. Loudon Answers. ' Teaching Cubs to Kill. Ilave you ever seeu a cut catch a mouse and hand it over to her kittens to teach them bow to kill? Well, a tiger is merely a big cut and she tenches her cutis almost in the same way. only not with mice. An East In dian officer witnessed a scene of this kind. An old hull bison had been the victim, and the tigress bud disabled blin by breaking one of bis forelegs just below the knee. She never touched the throat the usual place of seizing, but allowed the cubs to worry the dis abled animal. The eyewitness relates that the cubs acted exactly like kittens, ndvauced and retreated and worried the victim, all the time mewing and snarling, while the tigress sat near by, watching their antics and occasionally giving the bison a blow with her paw when be showed undue activity.

TAKE BIG GRAY INTERURBAN CAR THE INTERURBAN AUTOCAR COMPANY The Element of Chance. Human progress might be otherwise defined as humau success in minimiz ing the element of chance.

Why the "First Tuesday After the First Monday" In November? Nearly all the American world knows tbat the national election and nearly all of the state elections occur on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, but probably not one in all the millions of voters and nonvoters can tell "why" that date was selected for the choice of electors. The "when" is easy of discovery, but that Is anoth er story. It is always the first Tues day after the first Monday, but any body who looks nt the calendars of several years In November will see that the date varies almost every year. Years ogo the writer inquired of many of the most learned congressmen In Washington ns to the "why" of the mystery. Not one could answer ex cept to say, "Illess me, T don't know." Harry Smith, who for long years was Journal clerk of the house of repre sentatives, was almost a magician In dragging to light those little mysteries associated with the history of the coun try. He sought high and low as to the "why" actually for months and then gave It up. It is really one of the curiosities of our national legislation. II. II. It. Meyer, chief bibliographer of the Con gressional library, says: "As to why the first Tuesday nfter the first Monday In November Instead of the first Tuesday in November was fixed for the date of presidential elec tions, we have to report that no satis factory answer can be given." E. W. Llgbtner in Pittsburgh Dispatch. Extremes. The man making money In a small town up the state met a friend not making money in New York there are a few here in that class mid they were talking of their respective places of residence. "I tell you what it Is." said the ru ral visitor In a woeful tone, "it's ter rible to have a lot of money and live where you can't spend it." "Oh, I don't know." responded the lmecunlous city man. "I guess It isn't any more terrible than not to have a lot of money and live where you can spend it." New York Sun. NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT AND TO PRESENT CLAIMS.
